    I'm not saying that this is the only way, but it's a realistic way.
    Doing the Ralph Nader or Ross Perot thing ends with the failure to win not resulting in anything that lasts.

    In contrast, the Sanders method resulted in AOC and the rest of the "squad" as well as an effort that remains active today.
    This is true whether you're for or against the new democratic socialist movement.
    That's all I'm trying to say.
    It will work for either and all sides.
    Gary Johnson was Governor of New Mexico. Bill Weld was Governor of Mass. Trump was basically a third party candidate running on the Republican platform. Sure, it’s easier to win running on the Dem or Rep platform but it doesn’t have to be that way

    We don't just vote for the Democrats for whom we did not vote in the primary, however.
    We continue to strive for more progressive ideals.

    Nice owning you.
    once again you prove me correct that liberals were completely unhinged in their infantile hatred and voted for evil to defeat evil
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    short answer, you were led by your slave symbol nose ring to vote for who the Democratic party wanted you to vote for.............therefore, you have no ability to think for yourself

    It’s a placebo that fools you into believing that you’ve done something when in fact you haven’t done anything at all.
    Today, I hold my nose and vote with democrats who absolutely hate progressives like me.
    so you, following in the footsteps of your heritage, are nothing more than slaves who follow the orders of your master........the Democratic party........how does that make you feel?

    If he follows Trump’s lazy assed pattern, he’ll have plenty of stamina and strength.

    It’s all relative but he was about as anti-establishment as you can get running on the Republican platform.

    No, rejection of Trump's policies.
